Jesus rose from the dead the same way Samson "rose from the dead" after Delilah had cut off his hair. Both stories are metaphors for the return of the Israelites/Hebrews/Jews to their favorite deity. The story is meant to illustrate the 2nd Commandment in Exodus 34:14-16. Of course the Jews don't believe in Jesus but at one time in the biblical fairy tale they did.
